He was right: the first is the best; forget the rest. I just tried Normance; it's the same elliptical style as Death On the Installment Plan and every subsequent book he wrote. But, seriously, Journey to the End of the Night is no joke--that book devastated me. I'm far more obsessed with it than I ever was with Buk. I've read both translations, multiple times and it gets better every time, filling in new cracks the heart has made.
